To "relearn" the Ford Fusion's throttle body, move the car to a flat surface, set the parking brake and put the gear shift into park. Switch off all accessories. Fire the engine and run until it reaches operating temperatures and let idle for at least 1 minute. Turn the air conditioning on and let idle for another minute. Release the parking brake keeping Your foot on the brake pedal and the AC on. Let run another minute. After take Your foot off the brake, shift into drive and run the vehicle for at least 10 miles to recalibrate the throttle body. Almost all 2000 Ford models now employ an ETB, or "electronic throttle body", that is controlled by the car's main computer. "Relearning" the ETB can help correct a rough idle and is often necessary after disconnecting the battery.

Start by inserting the ignition key into the ignition lock. Leave it in the 0 or i position. Then push and hold the sel/reset knob, or the sel/reset button on the right hand of the steering wheel. Then turn the headlights on, and while holding the sel/reset button turn the headlights back off, then on, and then off again in five seconds. Release the sel button, and then push it three times in three seconds. Then turn the ignition off.
